ImPRINT - Infection Prevention Intensive
The Infection Prevention Department is launching a summer intensive education program for incoming providers and nursing staff. This will also serve as a refresher for all seasoned personnel in response to annual increases in infections during the summer months. We are calling this ImPRINT (Infection Prevention Intensive). It's a one-page summary of key points and will focus on a particular HAI (e.g. CLABSI) or risk reduction strategy (e.g CHGbathing).
